Whatever genre they put on ya, the song remains the same...right?
What if Bob Dylan had died in his motorcycle accident in 1966? What if Jimi Hendrix had lived on, playing guitar into the new millenium? What if John Lennon never met a madman on his doorstep?
Is a world without "Tangled Up in Blue" really worse than a world that never heard "Tiananmen Square Gardens"?
